DUCKAHOLICS

Please do not schedule it for the last week of September or from Nov 20th on. I would really like to fish, but duck season gets crazy. Several duck hunters on here that it would effect.

I know little about time constraints and scheduling for tourneys. But it seems to me, if you're gonna extend the usual weigh-in time for later, you'd probably want to extend the morning sign-in window by an equal amount of time.

Does that make sense?

Good point about early teal season.

In a word:<NO>.

Really? Why not?

Just curious.

The whole idea is to have more time on the water and or more travel time to and from the weigh in site.
The offshore people have more time to get to a ramp for their favorite offshore fishing numbers and more travel time on the water.
Then travel back from these offshore locations and many more miles back to a weigh in location.
Inshore guys have more and closer locations to launch from.
However,to have a inshore/offshore tournament the same day you accomodate both by having the nearshore weighin a hour sooner and be done with it by the time the offshore guys show up from their travel destinations.
Inshore guys average 30 minutes to a fishing hole.
Offshore guys average 2 hours to a fishing hole.
Hope this helps.

That does help. Thank you.

But by extending the sign-in time, not starting it later, just extending the sign-up period a coupla hours or so does not hamper the offshore guys. Or anyone, for that matter. It gives inshore folks, and offshore if they like, an opportunity to sign in a wee bit later for such a long day of fishing.

I saw a suggestion on the other topic of extending the weigh in to a later hour. I was thinking that perhaps inshore guys felt it would be a really long day if the weigh-in was, let's say 5pm. That would be a long day for most. My suggestion was to extend the sign-in period a little longer for those that preferred a later start for that late weigh-in.

There are many considerations. I'm certain ya'll committee folks will work it out.

I'll fish from dawn to dark.

Let's have it where nobody on here fishes a whole lot like putting in at Apalachicola or St George. Maybe have a variety tourney like the person with the most variety wins. Just an Idea.

I think St. Joe Bay sounds better. I never fish over there.

Let's go to St. Andrew's Bay. My stompin' ground.

Note to self: Send Chalk back to Germany that weekend.

I'm down with that. Just happen to know someone over that way.

A dollar bill in a g-string does not mean you know someone.

Naw, not her. I's talking bout the Chalkster. Sally don't know anything about fishing.

Ahh...I see.

Well..hmm. You can have the best of both worlds. Slap Chalk's ass and call him Sally.
